Long Soluble Poems

"The Call of the Grimoire" 


when Exalibur was retrieved 

from the rock, then foolishly 
and irretrievably lost 
in that dreadful battle most worthless

the imps encouraged 
the once good Poesie folk 
to jeer and throw pebbles

"Ground Level Entry"

“She fits the bill”,
they say it 
insouciantly

visions of being 
carried in the beak 
of a bilious pelican 

where it builds
its rudimentary nest, 
it uses sticks and debris

no stones, yet,
from irreverence
thrown at it

no higher...

“The Wolf’s Pockets”




Virginia knows 
what’s written 
in the mass of a rock
the heaviness of words
not soluble
anchored to life

A Wolf swallows Woolf whole
Hungry for something -
 
“other than”  ;

Submerged, 
what is not...

"Other Worlds"



Drifting through 
my mind once 
Apollonian 
 
I am enticed 
by the larger 
Dionysus 

I am 
a very small creature
twee, so

irrelevant 
a novel conundrum
where? the exact position to place?

like a hummingbird with 
fast beating...

I'm not the same as yesterday
This gives rise to the soluble layers
Or should that be depth?
My cascading through ever changing realities and trying to navigate 
It's makes so much sense that I can't hold onto...

Far away from the rhythmic pace of the seas, drifting currents in the rivers, 
Lost in echoing glitters of the oceans
Over the challenges of the mountains, gliding suspensions brought by the hills
Lingering for renewal in...

All day out of sorts with self I fluttered like a leaf
Upon a monstrous limb of grief
There was nothing in psychology or even belief

White knuckled, holding harder never held anything down.
Empty tides ripped her under, promises never honestly allowed
and those white knuckles held to hope and thunder raged inside her heart,
fell right back to the bottom, seeking desperately...

The strident, ringing telephone jars my eyes open with a snap,
I wake into the intruding grey and dreary external light,
Oozing through the curtains like some poor excuse
For something brilliant to replace the former night.

Spilling from...

Let’s pretend I know how to tell the secret.
The secret of our lives.
Like children running mad into each other.
Like bank exchanges in line.
Finally at the window,
And no one understands a thing.

The mind that forgot me...

ome let’s escape sailing silent over drifting feathering emotions on the shores of Ember

watching the waves soothe our souls with each refreshing embrace
as sweet swift fragrances fragment effervescent, dissolving soluble into the soul
whispers yell taunting...

On display, million dollar vessel in canal's sunk tide
Tucked away, among mangrove mud clotted denial
Puce pearl oily oyster tender is tenebrous, enduring
Glorified twilit stygian tomb stratum, fruit forbidden

 
Subtly shell punctured soluble beach, myriad shards
Enigmatic...

She was original
And irreplaceable 
Does no wrong to me

Maniacal yet adorable 
Addicted to her very soul
Never could she be soluble 

When she cries it brings storms
It is ironical never gives forewarns 
The the she breathes...

I was washed clean
Ready to start again
What it is I don't know
Exhaustion, brain washing, sense?
I'm not sure if I'm watching myself from afar
So after showdown I went to the Game and Country Show as planned...

that paper isn't always buoyant,
and ink is highly soluble.
I guess brain power is relative...
These are probably journal thoughts,
but my journal is overcrowded with politeness

Situation

Switch off mind’s clutter and swish with your soluble soul
Seize the second swirl away seizure’s silent convulsions
Sequence sequesters surpass surreptitious soliloquies

Resistance

Ruminating reason and ravenous rapture restrict and resurface
Reticent roads as they relinquish romance and rhapsody’s...

There is a river flowing somewhere
underneath the mind.
I came across it just the other day,
but did not see the source,
and happily for me,
I could not watch it drain into the sea.

For this quixotic flow is...
